Purpose: Patient safety is a central concern and goal in health-care organizations. Past research has highlighted the importance of patient safety-based culture (PSC) for improving hospitals\u2019 effectiveness, particularly the health-care service quality. In this study, we move a step further hypothesizing positive effects of PSC on both health-care quality as rated by patients and employees\u2019 quality of working life.
Implications: Our results support the general expectation that PSC is key to improve the quality of the health-care service delivered to patients. Additionally, hospitals\u2019 managers should promote a PSC as a way to improve employees\u2019 quality of life as well. <\/p>\n
Results: Evidence from multilevel analysis shows positive and significant relationships between PSC and health-care quality. In addition, we found a cross-level effect of PSC on employees’ quality of life. <\/p>\n
Limitations: Further longitudinal research examining the potential mediation chain among PSC, health-care quality and employees’ quality of life is needed. Also, it remains to be tested the impact of PSC on more objective dimensions of hospitals\u2019 performance, including rates of adverse clinical events. <\/p>\n
Value: To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to empirically examine the double impact of PSC on health-care quality and employees\u2019 quality of life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
